A traveller starts
from the black town and wishes
to go as far as possible while making only fifteen
turnings and
never going along the same road twice.
The towns are supposed to be a mile apart.
Supposing, for example, that he went straight to A, then straight to B,
then to C, D, E, and F, you will then find that he has travelled
thirty-seven miles in five turnings.
How far can he go
in fifteen turnings?
